RANGERS won’t have Castore on their shirts from next season.
But the upstart brand is reportedly going to feature on another historic club’s jerseys for 2025/26.

The Ibrox side are returning to Umbro as kit supplier after five controversial years with Castore.
But it’s not quite as simple as that because Castore have acquired Umbro’s sub-licence, therefore meaning they are in charge of the distribution of Umbro kits in Europe.
Indeed, Gers quietly extended their deal with Castore in February 2023 for a further seven years.
What is for certain however is that Rangers will not be sporting the Castore logo and instead next season’s strips – and potentially more going forward – will bear the Umbro trademarks.

But the Castore brand will be appearing on the tops of Middlesbrough, reports suggest.
According to FootyHeadlines and Boro Buzz, the Championship side will begin a partnership with Castore from the start of next season.
Boro, the 11th oldest club in the EFL, formally announced they would be parting ways with Errea as a kit manufacturer back in March.
The Teesside outfit were one of the founding members of the Premier League and will hope to return their next season after missing out on the play-offs this season.
Boro lost their way in the play-off race around about the same time they lost Scotland wonderkid Ben Doak to injury.
Doak, 19, will return to parent club Liverpool now that his loan deal at the Riverside has epxired.
Boro fans would no doubt love to see him back in North Yorkshire but Everton could make a shock bid to sign him from their Merseyside rivals in the summer.
The former Celtic starlet has also attracted interest from newly-crowned FA Cup champions Crystal Palace.
The newly-unveiled Rangers home kit for 2025/26 divided opinion initially while a leaked and as-yet-to-be-confirmed away top was met with a much poorer response from punters.
Elsewhere, Celtic star Daizen Maeda is reportedly attracting interest from Turkish club Fenerbahce, a move that would see him link up with Jose Mourinho.
